Am I shedding my thoughts? Kellogg’s Additional Crispy Clusters are simply granola in a field, proper? “Crispy Clusters” are simply granola clusters, proper? Nothing about them makes them particular than Nature Valley or KIND granola, proper? With these positively being granola, I can’t assist however need to name them Extranola. However what makes them “additional” over different granola, I couldn’t inform you regardless of consuming a number of servings of each varieties out there — Almond and Cinnamon.
Whereas each flavors are crispy, which I’ll write extra about in a second, solely the Cinnamon one slid out of the bag in cluster type. However the Almond one was largely a bunch of unfastened granola within the bag as if it bought crushed up by packing containers of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds as retaliation for stepping on their oat cluster cereal turf.
However again to their crispiness…
The neglect I gave these whereas sitting in milk would make any Tamagotchi die, however they maintained their crispiness regardless of that. I left them to soak whereas I scrolled by cleansing Instagram Reels. Nonetheless crispy. I allow them to sit in 2% whereas I collected and counted all of the micro USB cables I’ve collected over the previous decade. Nonetheless crispy. However I’m fairly certain giving any granola that very same lack of consideration whereas in dairy would have the identical outcome, so it actually isn’t that spectacular.
If I had to decide on between the 2 Kellogg’s Additional flavors, I’d give the nod to the Cinnamon one. Whereas it tastes like all cinnamon-flavored granola, it’s positively extra flavorful than the opposite one. Oddly, I additionally discovered that the nice and cozy spice has extra taste in milk than when eaten dry. As for the Almond selection, the caramelized sugar coating offers a noticeable and nice sweetness, and the almonds clearly add a nuttiness. Nevertheless, as I ate it, it jogged my memory of no matter the usual Nature Valley granola taste is. It’s effective and one thing I’d not say no to, however it received’t make my style buds do a cheerful dance.
The one “additional” factor I can consider about Kellogg’s Additional is its worth, which is additional excessive in comparison with different cereals on the shelf. I paid $6.99 for every field, which was the sale worth. The common worth was $13.99. However even on the sale worth, I can’t see myself selecting up one other field of what’s principally granola with nothing apart from the worth being additional about it.
